Overview

Queen's Pawn Game: Chigorin Variation is a named branch in the Flank Openings group of chess theory, classified under ECO A45.

The Flank Openings group covers flank openings — systems that delay the central pawn break and instead develop pieces and pawns on the wings.

The line arises from 4 plies — specifically the moves 1. d4 Nf6 2. Nc3 d5.

In the opening tree, this line branches off from Indian Defense, part of the broader Queen's Pawn Game system.

It continues primarily into one named line, Amazon Attack: Siberian Attack.

Use the board to walk through every move, check how the position has scored on Lichess, or take it head-to-head against Stockfish.
